With the Hamburg geostrophic ocean general circulation model, the temporal variation of the angular momentum of the oceans is studied. The input wind stresses consist of climatological winds plus the deviations of the actual winds 1981-1989. The motion part of the angular momenta of the two hemispheres resembles the (counter-phase) behaviour of the corresponding atmospheric angular momentum. The dominating matter part however shows no phase shift between the hemispheres. The sum of the angular momenta of the solid Earth and the atmosphere is deduced from observations; in principle it should be inversely correlated to the oceanic angular momentum. A first attempt to recognize the correlation between these empirical data and the theoretical values is described.
